    £2K!!!!?!?!?!
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    These MIMs are rocketing up again. I bought mine used for £650 (pristine) when they were selling new for £800. I think I'd prefer LPB to Fiesta Red, but not for what it would cost me! Also, pretty sure the MIMs would have a pao ferro board now, despite what the advert says. The photo certainly looks like pao ferro.

    £2k for the JM is way too high. These were £1600 about 2 years ago. Rosewood issues or not, it’s too high.

    as a side note this aversion to Pao ferro is getting ridiculous.

    Price increases are largely driven by the pound being in a hole again.

    Both look lovely. Both will be 25% cheaper before Christmas.

    As long as the Pau Ferro is dark, even and not streaky, blotchy, or orange, then it's fine.

    No, it's mainly due to Fender repositioning all their lines one level up. Sure the pound has something to do with it but even before the pound tanked Roadworn's had gone up to nearly £1k from the £750-£800 they were introduced at.

    Genuinely... as an offset fan, I think they look better without. Plus bear in mind that colour matched headstocks were only offered for a very short period
